"We stayed here for about 4 nights and everything went well. There are two sections of the palace...one where the hotel reception is connected to and the other is a stand along building across the street. We've read online that one of the sections was the "newer" renovated one and I think that was the section with the hotel reception. We stayed in other section across the street and it was fine. It doesn't look so outdated that you can tell/feel it's vastly different. Every night, there is some type of special music or performance by the pool. That was a nice touch and appreciated. Everyone is very friendly as well. We opted for the daily parking of 8 euros and that came in pretty handy. There can be street parking but it is limited and you will have to drive around the side streets for one. "

"Great venue, well located in Rethymno and amazing staff. Would definitely stay there agai."

"Food was really amazing in the buffet, you never tired of the variety and quality. Pool and the beach service was great, overall friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was outstanding. Everything in the hotel is very clean and well maintained and the room quality was 1st rate. One minor issue in the maisonette is the very small wardrobe in the upstairs bedroom a small set of drawers would help. Top hotel."

"We had a fantastic family Reunion here. The staff are super accommodating. The spa was a great treat, the pool fun to hang out and the food was delicious and varied. "

"I communicated a late arrival due to missed plane. They were aware and responded to that. Enjoyed our stay and will stay again in the future. Great view from dining area on roof. Great walk to the tourist area by the water. "

"We stayed at Civitas for 9 days and it was a wonderful experience . The location in Old Town Was the Best! We can’t say enough about the Staff, they were all so welcoming and helpful we really felt at home here . Our breakfast was amazing lovely area to enjoy the morning as well beautiful view of the harbour . If you don’t like stairs than I would recommend one of the apartments that are all on one level . Very beautiful and spacious . We will recommend this unique hotel to any friends we know that are coming to Beautiful Rhythmno ❤️😊"

"Lovely boutique hotel in the centre of Rethymno. We stayed in the loggia suite (one bed plus a living room with sofa bed, two bathrooms). Very tastefully decorated, great bathroom(s) really good powerful shower and the property felt well maintained and cared for. Very good complimentary breakfast. The only negatives or points for improvement (these seem rather nit picky): 1. The bathroom had an amazing shower and a fancy weighing scale (who would want that with all the great food so close by?!) yet had one of those horrible hotel hairdryers that you have to hold down the button to keep it switched on making it hard to style hair. Felt that this was a disappointment given the spec of the room. 2. Parking is free in the four martyrs car park -but you're not guaranteed a space. We arrived in Rethymno at 1pm on a Monday, wanting to have lunch and visit the town a bit before checking in. We were very lucky to get a space (and almost gave up)! It would be nice if the hotel could work an arrangement with the car park to reserve spaces for guests - especially since the hotel contacted us in advance re parking etc and this is the closest car park to the hotel for transporting luggage. I would be willing to pay a nominal fee of 10 euros to have a guaranteed space for 24 hrs / be able to come and go to visit the surrounding countryside. 3. Breakfast was great yet the fruit juice was very watery - again more of a let down based on how good everything else was!"

"Beautiful, clean hotel with nice service, and a nice pool, close to the beach. Only negatives were that double beds consisted of two single beds next to each other and that the hot tub wasn’t working. "

"I stayed here in Sept/24. Obviously, I enjoyed it enough to give it another try. I am an adamant non-smoker. On my last stay I brought it up. Reception tried to rid the room of smoke but it really didn't help as it was thick as soup. I mentioned upon reserving I really didn't want to go through that again. I also mentioned I would like to get some breakfast before it was actually served (8 to 10AM). I missed out on my last stay. I am happy to say both small issues from last time were no longer issues on this visit thanks to a young gentleman named Phillip who was only eager to assist with a smile. I was also able to extend my checkout time upon departure without a dreaded money grabbing fee. Luggage storage is also available with a smile (Yanis) so you can enjoy Rethymno to its fullest. To me the greatest virtue of this property is reception. They don't roll their eyes or give a heavy sigh at requests. They indeed want you happy and returning. Breakfast has numerous choices even for the fussiest eaters such as myself. The smallest downfall is the bed and pillows. The support was not firm as I like but we are all different. Even though Room #503 faced the street any outside noise was minimal. Job well done!! "
